    Smog Test Result: Rejected

    Smog test rejected (no failed) for 2 of 8 of the parameters not reporting; OBD EVAP and OXY SNSR HEAT. The check engine light came on after changing a very dirty air filter and upon starting the VX. I reset the system by disconnecting the battery. I have driven over 300 miles city/highway and still only 6 of the 8 have reported. They tell me I need 7 of 8 reporting to PASS.
    Any Suggestion?

    My advice:

    1. Buy off the inspector.
    2. Move to a less green neighborhood.

    J/k, I'm sure others will have plenty of helpful suggestions.

    Sounds like either your evaporation canister(fuel) is either clogged or is leaking somewhere or the sensor is bad. For the oxygen sensors heat, you probably need a new oxygen sensor which is a PITA to remove. Either way it's gonna cost a lot of time or money or both.
    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.

    Maybe you could stick one of those battery-powered automatic air freshener sprayers in your tail pipe...
